White Doe: Revelation #8Sunday #wewriwra

weekend_writing_warriorsveteransbadge_4This is the last eight for White Doe, my erotic paranormal novella set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Shane is shape-shifting hawk descended from the Croatan Tribe and has just lost his great-grand father who was their tribe’s chieftain and the only shifter like him. While paying respects at his great aunt Nona’s, he runs into Dory, a former f*¢k buddy turned stalker. Shane returns home and finds Dory waiting for him. The encounter is a revelation. The snippet is a couple of sentence over but completes the first chapter.

“I’ve hurt before,” he said, tossing his jacket over the back of the kitchen chair. “So you wanna pay your old man back for his extra-curricular activities?” She was a spectacular lay, but her psycho manipulations were more than he could bear.

Dory leaned into him, pressing her large, custom-built breasts against his chest and murmured, “Let’s feel better together, baby.”

He reached for the whiskey, poured a double and tossed it back enjoying the surge through his blood along with hot need for a f*ck. Her curvy body had a spike poking the front of his jeans. He hated his reaction. Couldn’t he pretend she was the one he truly wanted, hadn’t he always? The sudden realization shocked and sickened him.

He pushed her away, sidestepping her grope as her eyes glowed in anger. “We’re done, Dory.”

After she left, he slipped his wallet from his back pocket and bigstock-Beautiful-exotic-young-woman-agreen eyes_distressed-31969301found the worn picture of Cheyenne. “Please come home, baby.”

This week:  Who’s my Rock of Gibralter and handling bad advice…

RomanceWeekly

CoquinaHow do you find the appropriate setting for the story or does it find you?

Local beaches are part of my brand, so my stories are usually set in Southeastern Virginia or the Outer Banks of North Carolina. However, that doesn’t mean my characters don’t travel to other parts of the country and world.

Who is your support system for your writing, family, friends and or other writers?

Both my critique group buddies and our chapter’s PRO liaison have been my rock. I also bounce ideas off my son since he’s actually read a couple of my manuscripts. Hubby leaves me alone which is support from what I’m told.

What is the worst writing advice you ever received and how did you MessageInBottlebigstockphoto_Message_In_A_Bottle_1181838deal with it?

I don’t recall any outlandish advice. I’ve learned something from every critique and every rejection. Being in a critique group has shown me the wide variety of tastes in readers and I try to keep that in mind with regard to advice and reviews.
